SEC - Saudi Consolidated Electric Company
Purpose:
To Determine the
- Ratings of unit substation transformers
- Secondary OCPD,s
- Secondary feeders
To Determine the Size of Branch OCPD and their Feeders HVAC equipments, panel boards,
Main switch boards and distribution panels.
Design Criteria for Power Distribution at LV System:
Wires and Cables Specs:
The sizes of cables have been selected based on the following:
Continuous current during normal operation
Voltage drop within permissible limits during normal operation as well as
starting condition
Cable Catalogue: - Saudi Cables
Ambient Temperatures for Cables
- In Air 50 deg. C
- Soil Temperature (direct buried) 40 deg. C
- Indoor Air-Conditioned 30 deg. C
Type of Cables:
- Low voltage wires and cable (600 V and below) for major feeders installed in
underground ducts and for indoor installation in raceways, conduits and
wireways shall, in general, be 90C rated, cross-linked polyethylene. Building

4 Design Assumptions
4.3.1 Overall Efficiency ( h ) = 0.9
4.3.2 Overall Power Factor (p.f) = 0.8
4 Formulaes:
4.4.1 Input kVA = Total Load (kW) x Overall Diversity Factor
Efficiency X Power Factor
4.4.2 Voltage Drop Calculations: Applicable only for longer cable runs that causes voltage
drop for more than 3%. Any cables exceeding the limit is
changed to next larger size.

3- The generator auxiliary power requirement is 5% (Assumed)
4- Temperature correction factor is taken as 5% (Assumed)
- GENERATOR DATA
1- Short time overload coefficient of a generator, KG = 1.5
2- Generator power factor PF = 0.8
3- Permissible transient voltage drop of system Vd at 400V switchboard bus = 2%
4- Transient reactance of generator X'd = 10% (Assumed Value, Vendor will Confirm)
- SIZING CALCULATIONS
Capacity of Generator is calculated using the following formulae:
Capacity Under Normal Running Condition including 20% future spare capacity.
PG1 = 1.20 X TPPL
Where TPPL = Total Plant Peak Load as per Consumer List
TPPL = kVA (MDP-FS-CD Refer Sheet 07)
PG1 = 1.20 x kVA
PG1 = kVA
Temperature correction factor is including 5% under normal running condition.
PG1 = x
PG1 =
- CONCLUSION
1- The minimum required capacity of Diesel Generator Set is kVA
as per PG1 calculation.
2- The Diesel Generator rating has been selected as 500 kVA which is
the next size available.
